Uugh! Now I really got to have one! I turn 55 next month and I've always wanted an xmaxx. Love the green!

Dude GOD BLESS YOU im so happy wacthing unboxing traxxas xmaxx and revo 2.0 your channel...im from CEBU CITY philippines..
I agree....I just installed some blue tooth modules and had to update like a week later on my TRX and the Max, but I gotta learn about binding and running different cars on one remote.🇺🇸👍
Great video! Just opened my brand new orange XMaxx yesterday. Can’t wait to see you rip it!
That ken block 1/16 rally body was one of the coolest bodies I ever owned. Love that car.
X-Maxx is in a league of its own. I got to drive the little Maxx and it is fun but it is no X-Maxx. I can already see a big grin when you get that bad-boy out on 8S. The X-Maxx is the reason monster trucks will never go obsolete :)
Your going to love it , as the power is crazy and it’s really a totally different experience then most others, also if you decide to run it in any type of water remember to plug the breather hole inside the rim , because once water gets inside that’s when it all builds to a certain spot and it a you know what to drain out and your blowout will occur ! I do recommend getting a bullet connector type hole punching piece for your power drill and put two holes one on opposite sides of the tires and you’ll never have a problem with blowouts , water, or really anything it’s actually a game changer doing it , as you’ll never notice the holes and you’ll never ever have problems !! Keep up the Great Work !! 👍✌️

Stack tire venting, only needed to ruin one set of tires to learn that lesson lol
Looks great Mark! can't wait to see it in action.
It comes with suspension tied down for smaller packaging to save on shipping and fit more boxes per skid.. box is big enough allready haha
Xmaxx is bad boy!! I have had mine for about 3 months is so fun!!
I seen a lot of unboxing of this truck And I know what to expect but that feeling you get when you cut the ties & your monster stands up........that’s it I’m going outside and play with my mine 🤣👍🏻
Damn what do you do for a living!? Amazing house, cars, r/c's etc!
Green definitely the best version!!
Looks so good in green!
Have fun driving that beast! Don't forget to do some small upgrades that Traxxas really should have though of preinstalling: RPM Body Savers (RPM80552) RPM Rear Axle Carriers (RPM81732)
Awesome, I just bought my first brand new rc the Traxxas Xmaxx with the Traxxas 2- 6700mah 4s battery charger kit iam going to do a unboxing video on it its supposed to be the Rock and roll version will see here in a bit! I've only bought used RC's off of offerup and at swapmeats flex markets always used but this my first new factory purchase!
It’s about time!! 👍👍👍
Your living the dream my man!
Awesome video.....it's cloudy in Austin......but it ain't raining.....yet!
It's like Christmas with a box that big . And she's pretty for sure 👍
Now all you need is the UDR for your amazing collection. Keep it up

I remember when I didn’t know a lot about xmaxxs, first upgrade, 46 tooth got racing spur, max6 esc, indestructible body
No worries about the springs being compressed, cycling a spring is what causes it to wear 😉. I don’t store my rcs off of a stand either but that’s only to save the foams and tires.

Its about time u got one u been missing out!
WOW.... I got mine before you got yours and im still new to the hobby? Mine wasn't boxed when I bought it. Mine was the RedMaxx floor model at my local hobby shop!
I have been looking for xmaxx all morning how crazy👍🏼😎
Can’t believe you’ve never had one of these. You’ll love it. Take it to Indy. It’s a blast on the track.
Awesome video and badass truck.
They are a beast hey? Had mine for few months now , I run stock ( way good enough) just do a few safety mods like the underbody dry wall / goo or what ever you want to use , put a nut and bolt through servo saver ( biggish job bit well worth it . If you don’t you will see what I mean. Get a second set of Battery.
Traxxas scale is definitely their own. The call the Rally a 1/10 scale yet it was same size as HPI 1/7 Rally . Then they call the Xmaxx a 1/5 yet put that next to a Redcat Rampage MT mister truck and it's way smaller
I bought a blue one and absolutely love it!! Not surprisingly it's the biggest r.c. car I own! Lol
Hey Mark! I love your videos brother- and yes the Green- is the one to have! I have a Green- X-Maxx too- love it
Mine just stopped steering. Its working on the road just fine. on carpet or grass, no steering at all. And that just happend on my second run :(. Just ordered the 2085x servo. Hopefully that works! Xmaxx is a blast! Holland says hi!
They compress the shocks so it fits in the box easier, that’s what they did to my summit to.
Get the internal cover for it to keep it clean, and make sure you upgrade the rear carriers to rpm

Gear it up replace the stock spur “54T” with the optional “46T” and get a 22-24 pinion check the center diff sometimes it hardly has any diff fluid comes with 20mill stock i silicone ear plugs in mine kinda stops the front tires from ballooning mines far from stock anymore max5 esc castle 800kv with proline badlands 46/46 gearing but those are the few things i would of done when i got mine if i knew

awesome video i have two x-maxxs and one has a traxxas snap-on body so cool have orange and green getting a maxx this week
Wassup brooo keep up the good work
I have a green one too. Love it!! Enjoi!
Mark, question for you: what do you think of the X-Maxx, in stock form running on 8S? I currently have an E-Revo 2.0 and a UDR, both stock running only on 6S. The X-Maxx has always caught my eye and I'm considering selling both of mine to get an X-Maxx. What would you do? I don't have a ton of money to spend on RC and kind of just want one do-it-all vehicle that's good at everything. I was thinking about getting a 1/10 Maxx ever since they came out, but I feel like the plastic driveshafts would need to be upgraded pretty much right away (always had twisting issues with the plastic shafts on my old Rustler 4x4 VXL on 3S), feel like the widemaxx kit seems pretty necessary as well so right there with just those 2 upgrades you're looking at a $700 1/10 RC monster truck, or you could spend $900 and get the X-Maxx which doesn't really seem to need anything right off the bat. Granted, the pair of 4S 6700 mah lipos are very expensive for the X-Maxx compared to one 4S 5000 mah pack for the Maxx so that makes the overall cost of the X-Maxx even greater. What do you think is more fun overall, an upgraded Maxx or a stock X-Maxx? If I got the Maxx I'd probably want to do the steel driveshafts, widemaxx kit, LED light kit, aluminum turnbuckles, and aluminum hubs / bearing carriers (all in green of course!). If I got the X-Maxx I'd probably just do the LED light kit. I'm just kind of thinking, an upgraded Maxx like that would be awesome but would it be worth it? I feel like I'd almost rather keep my stock E-Revo 2.0 and UDR instead of doing that maybe. The X-Maxx seems like it might actually be worth it to try out, seems like it would be / feel / drive differently than any other RC pretty much. I've been into RC for about 20 years now, first vehicle was a Stampede 2WD brushed, 20 turn stinger motor. I've had a lot of different vehicles mostly Traxxas, and I've had a couple E-Maxx's so I feel like it would be really awesome to actually get an X-Maxx. My only question and thought is, would I rather have an X-Maxx or keep my E-Revo 2.0 and UDR? Definitely can't have them all, I wish haha. What would you rather own for your RC vehicles, just an X-Maxx or an E-Revo 2.0 and a UDR? Please let me know your thoughts, sorry this is so long but thank you so much if you've made it this far! Happy Holidays!
Keep up the vids!
Envy is a sin, this is my dream rc toy back when I was a kid until now I really like it but I can't afford very expensive and I need to prioritize my family daily needs for now I enjoy watching ur video here.
Hope you enjoy pal
Love and want a xmaxx 8s, my dream truck😀❤
The thing is a beast! I love mine. 👊👊💯💯
The rubber piece is so if you take the wheelie bar off that replaces it
what one do u think i should get?the maxx or the rustler 4x4 vxl
Good pickup. I have two of these monsters 💪
I am running my x-maxx and UDR off the same controller and Bluetooth module and my son's Maxx that also has his own controller with a Bluetooth module and I have no problems linking both to one app

I’ve never owned a xmaxx I’m debating right now on buying one I’ve always owned arrma is this xmaxx worth the money real talk? What’s your opinion ?
It’s part number 7744 on traxxas website it’s a impact skid plate cushion
I live in Arizona so that's my weather everyday XD
Cant wait to see what gets upgraded first.. that is whatever breaks first lol
The summits comes with the suspension tied down...the big summits
Xmaxx is king 👑 and that's why we have 2 of them 🤓. Once you drive one, it's hard to bash with anything else. Also, get milled steel gears and rpm bearings
I have the exact color as yours...get the green metal rollcage..i have it ..its cool
that green is awsome bro im lovin it bro monster look

i think the compress the suspension only for packaging so the box isnt 2 times bigger
this is a tip that kevin talbot had said if you want to go crazy with the xmaxx you should take the skid plates off and fill the holes under the bulkhead with epoxy. it will just make it stronger but out of the box it is still very storng. easily the strongest RTR.

Deez louize give it a go dude by all means. If your on dirt you’ll be fine because the tyres will skid because the gear strips. But on Asphalt or concrete where there is grip there is so much momentum at the higher speeds then you break and the momentum takes the gear out and usually the opinion as well.
Sry but your reaction to crushing your finger on repeat is hilarious !
They strapped down the suspension for the primary purpose of getting it in the box. Things that companies do for packaging.
The little plastic piece is for when you take wheelie bar off
Your son did a great job with the scissor. I know they suck but it's a special safety scissor for kids. My daughter uses a look a like and I'm already aware of the frustrations. Zoë get me a scissor, ok dad. 1min later, is that a pair of scissors. It even doesn't cut, where is my swiss pocket knife?? 😂😂
